Why I Support King Kylie's Empire

There is more to the young entrepreneur than her bigger-than-life lips.

Why I Support King Kylie's Empire
Seventeen

Primarily known for her role as the youngest child on the reality TV show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and her bigger-than-life lips, Kylie Jenner is so much more than that. She is an online socialite, an influencer and most importantly, an entrepreneur. She has achieved a high level of success at just 18 years old, and was even listed in TIME Magazine's Top 25 Influential Teens in 2014 and 2015. It is absolutely mind-blowing that she and I are the same age and she has accomplished so much. Kylie took her dreams and turned them into a reality, serving as a role model for members of her "King Kylie" empire. She is one of the most followed people on Instagram, with 65.2 million followers, and the most followed celebrity on Snapchat as of last July. Being so involved in business partnerships as well as her own business endeavors at such a young age makes Kylie stand out amongst her famous family; her celebrity status and increasing value buds from her image presented on her social media, unlike the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, who gained traction from their show. To date, her biggest accomplishments are her app and brand, Kylie Cosmetics.

For $2.99 a month, her app features various daily exclusive content, including videos, behind-the-scene pics, live streams, personal journals, OOTDs and a favorite of many: when her next lip kit restock will take place.

Kylie Cosmetics, her makeup company, is exclusively sold online and sells out in minutes. It started with a handful of lip kits, which include a lipliner and a matte liquid lipstick, and now includes 12 matte lip kits, three glosses, and four metals. With restocks happening about once a week, fans sit on the edge of their chairs refreshing their browsers for the better half of 10 minutes before the site goes live, with the hopes of getting their hands on her gorgeous products. I have been successful in every attempt and now own five colors: Dolce K, Kourt K, Mary Jo K, King K and KyMajesty.

"After two long years of dreaming about this, I am so excited to finally share my cosmetic secrets with you guys. Kylie Cosmetics is a collection of products I created working with my amazing team in our lab to design the perfect ‘Kylie look’. I can’t wait to see how beautiful everyone is going to look," Kylie states on her website, where new products are also hinted at.

All of her commodity is creamy, rich in color and utterly fabulous. (Not to mention it smells amazing -- like warm, gooey cupcake batter.) Her mattes don't leave your lips feeling like you've been in the Sahara Desert for a week without water, like many mattes do, and they stay on for hours upon hours, even when eating and drinking -- not to mention, they are totally kiss-proof. The metals have a creamier feel, but still last for hours and give your lips a chic metallic look, while the glosses offer a more traditional appearance. Out of the five I own, here is my ranking:

5. King K

King K is a fun, metallic gold liquid lipstick that brings out the sparkle in your eyes. This shade is perfect for summer.

4. Kourt K

The first matte I ever purchased -- I love this neutral dark purple hue, especially for the fall and winter.

3. Mary Jo K

The best and truest red lipstick I've yet to come across. I can't help but feel fierce when wearing it.

2. Dolce K

My go-to lipstick at all times. The perfect nude that can be rocked with literally any look, day or night, all year 'round.

1. KyMajesty

Both the newest metal and the most unique, KyMajesty is my all-time favorite lipstick. The darkened gunmetal with silver and multi-colored glitter is definitely a bold statement, but one that will be appreciated by friends and makeup enthusiasts alike.

I will continue to support Kylie Jenner's impressive business endeavors, and plan to buy more liquid lipsticks from her in the near future.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
